> Last week (the already-pretty-darn-economical cut) Chuck Eye Roast was on sale at Super Target, and I had a coupon for $1.00 off of any of the beef they sell, so I got just under 2lbs of roast for $0.98.. I didn’t really want to do a “traditional roast beef” kind-of-dinner with it, so I cut 2 slabs about 1 inch thick off of the roast and froze the rest for later use. I pierced the meat all over both sides and marinated it in 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon curry paste for about 24 hours.Then I fired up the grill and cooked it to about medium, let it rest while I tossed a quick salad with some Newman’s Own Sesame Ginger dressing (yum) and sliced the meat thinly to top the salad. The one shown above is mine, so I had pre-cut my sliced meat into smaller pieces and added tomatoes and scallions (which are both a big “no” for The Hub.)

The Hub’s comment regarding dinner :”This is a better cut of meat then we have been getting huh? Was the good stuff on sale or something?”I didn’t have the heart to tell him it was quite the opposite, so I just said “I am glad you like it!”Score one for the power of marinade!

My Name is Keri.
After 15 years in the heart of the city, I've moved back to my hometown with my picky-eater husband, my ever-growing son, and my impossibly fluffy dog.
I love coffee, liquid cheese, and my family. I am a culinary school drop out.
I love to cook, love spending time with my family and friends, and REALLY love combining those things together with a nice pitcher of cocktails to lubricate the recipes and the conversations.

I can’t remember the last time all the flags weren’t at half-staff. This is not at all what I wanted to write today – not at all anything I want to have to say. But it is true. It struck me, ironically, on the MORNING of February 14th as I drove past our area’s city […]

Oh Hai cuties. So, 50 years ago today , these two adorable, amazing, fabulous, fantastic folks tied the knot. At an age when most people are still at the HEIGHT of teenaged dumbassery -that is totally a word- they were looking at each other over a wedding license and seeing the future of a family. […]
